Holiday Park Pitch Fee Disputes: Evidence to Keep

Holiday park disputes often build slowly: a fee increase, a new rule, a resale restriction, a promised facility that changes or a response that does not answer the contract point. A careful evidence pack helps separate emotion from the documents that matter.

Quick summary: Holiday park pitch fee, site rule or static caravan dispute? Learn how to organise contracts, notices, fee changes and park replies.

Start with the agreement and site rules

Keep the licence agreement, park rules, pitch fee terms, resale terms, commission clauses, age limits, facility promises and any annual notices. These documents set the baseline for what changed.

Track every fee change

Create a simple table showing the date, amount, reason given, notice received and your response. Include invoices, emails, letters and payment records.

Keep sales promises separate

If you were told the caravan would be easy to resell, rent out or keep for a long period, keep brochures, emails, adverts and messages separate from later pitch fee evidence.

Focus the complaint

A stronger complaint usually explains the specific unfairness or inconsistency: unclear fee method, sudden rule change, resale restriction, poor response or mismatch between sales promises and later reality.

Evidence checklist

  • Licence agreement and park rules
  • Pitch fee invoices and increase notices
  • Sales brochure, advert or written promises
  • Emails, letters and complaint replies
  • Photos or notices about facilities and site conditions
  • Payment records and resale or exit correspondence
Important: This guidance is for document organisation and complaint preparation. Outcomes depend on the documents, timing, evidence and organisation involved.

Common questions

What if the park only explained the fee rise verbally?

Write down the date, who you spoke to and what was said. Then ask the park to confirm the reason in writing so the evidence is clearer.

Should I include old invoices?

Yes. Old invoices can show the pattern of increases and whether the recent change is unusual.

Can resale problems be part of the same evidence pack?

Yes, but keep resale restrictions and pitch fee issues in separate sections so the complaint stays easy to follow.

Practical answer and next steps

Short answer: Check each pitch-fee increase against the written holiday agreement, review mechanism and notice. Holiday pitches are not automatically governed like residential park homes.

Key evidence

  • Current and earlier agreements
  • Fee notices and calculation
  • Site rules and promised facilities
  • Comparable invoices and correspondence

First steps

  1. Save the original documents and dated screenshots.
  2. Build one chronology of events, payments and replies.
  3. State the specific correction, refund or remedy requested.

If the complaint is rejected or ignored

Challenge the calculation in writing under the agreement. Use any stated ADR route; obtain professional review where contract interpretation or limitation is disputed.
